katt_goddess Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Once. I had the flu and needed just a few frickin' things from a store that is literally a few blocks away. I ordered before noon because they have order blocks but didn't get anything until after 8p. And I was charged the delivery fee when it was supposed to be free for first time customers. I'm also glad that I didn't allow for substitutions because I honestly think they would have just tossed anything in there. I have not bothered with it since. I think they deliver to the next city over before they get to the neighborhood they are actually a part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdamizer Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We do it My biggest issue is they will give you the meats that are expiring soon... i get why... but it passes me off. If its not in stock they also get pretty cavalier with their chosen substitutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renjifan Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Only pop and bottled water for work, so substitutions aren’t a big deal for me. But it is super convenient ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunStarHero Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Been ordering online groceries from various stores and services throughout most of this year. I definitely echo the no substitutions thing. We used Instacart to pickup and deliver stuff from a local market and we ended up hating that whole ordeal. I foolishly agreed to substitutes but it was so god damned random what the shopper picked. A few examples being... -Ordered 5 strawberry kiwi snapple, got precisely one diet mango snapple. -Requested pineapple juice or nectar, received coconut milk. -Asked for mixed berry muffins, got 10 bags of banana nut bread muffin mix. -Placed order for 2, 2 liter bottles of Coke, got 1 original coke and one kosher coke. -Listed achiote paste, wound up with Mexican oregano instead. Beyond that initial, learning experience, our orders have been largely correct. Some places are stupid fast and I get my stuff within 3 hours of my order. Most usually arrive the following day. A lot of these services will offer free delivery on orders over a certain amount which is nice. Your main issue is the store's actual stock when the delivery is ready to go. So you might order something but the day of your delivery its out of stock or they don't have enough to fulfill your order. In which case you aren't charged for that and if you already were it will be refunded. Beyond that you do risk produce, meats, breads etc not being the finest specimens. You might get something about to expire or already expiring or just some pathetic excuse for an item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonSinger Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Nope. I usually buy fruits and veggies, but too many people don't know how to properly pick them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I've done curbside pickup for Sam's Club. When it comes to produce and meat, I don't trust another person to not give me shitty quality products. Edited September 8, 2020 by bnmjy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I never use it. I always go shopping myself, I am very picky about my produce and meats, and I make just about everything from scratch so using it for boxed items is kind of pointless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
